Devil in the Detail
Two teens vanish. One town stays silent.
When schoolgirl Mandy Gibson vanishes from the quiet seaside town of North Berwick, DC Scott Cullen walks into a case already simmering with suspicion.
The locals blame Jamie Cook – a teenage troublemaker with a record and a temper. But Jamie’s gone too.
Both families are tied to a breakaway religious sect, led by an excommunicated priest. As Cullen digs deeper, he finds a community willing to protect its own – no matter the cost.
To find Mandy, Cullen must tear through the lies. And hope he’s not already too late.
From bestselling author Ed James, Devil in the Detail is a tightly woven, gripping crime novel set in a middle-class town that isn’t nearly as wholesome as it looks.
